Senior PE Michelin Dinner: "AI from Origin to Exit: Maximising Deal Lifecycle Value"
"AI from Origin to Exit: Maximising Deal Lifecycle Value"
Join us for an evening of high-level networking and a deep dive into how AI is transforming the private equity lifecycle from initial sourcing to final realisation.
The Conversation
The traditional private equity playbook is evolving rapidly. To outperform in today’s macro-economic climate, value creation now requires moving beyond conventional playbooks to embed technology directly into the DNA of the deal lifecycle.
In this session, we will shift the conversation toward AI as an end-to-end catalyst for fund performance. We will explore how leading firms are moving past isolated use cases to deploy AI systematically across the entire deal lifecycle, accelerating origination, sharpening diligence, driving portfolio value, and ultimately positioning assets for a high-valued exit.
What We’ll Explore
Origination & Sourcing: Use predictive data to map fragmented markets and secure proprietary, off-market deal flow.
Diligence & Underwriting: Compress evaluation timelines and de-risk acquisitions through automated data synthesis.
Hold Period Value: Move beyond basic productivity gains to scale portfolio revenue and defend EBITDA margins.
Exit Readiness: Prove tech-forward defensibility to incoming buyers to command top-tier valuation multiples.
The Investment Committee: Audit target asset AI liabilities and technical viability before deploying capital.
